There are two Kinneston entries within the sale, lot 761 Artic Row and lot 762 Sanosuke, each ran ultimate week and arguably ran private bests, they have got pop out in their races neatly and I want to proceed coaching them as there are many causes to imagine they are going to give a boost to once more subsequent season, albeit from a low degree.
Thrilled to really feel a step forward on the Gross sales this week having purchased this beautiful younger horse, Ozzy Cosmo, on the Cheltenham Sale on Friday
A good looking winner at Perth on Wednesday night with solid stalwart Arnica profitable in sport taste, finally however neatly well worth the wait as he’s kindly leased to Group Kinneston via Ken McGarrity.
